"Not only a great roughguide to bycicle maintenance, but is also a
nice effort to recuperate and share part of the culture that
disasters, like hurricane Katrina in this case, threaten to
destroy." --"Disaster Bound"
"The folks that put out the helpful, clear, beautiful guide
Chainbreaker, that really liberates bikers from bike repair people,
are American heroes." --"Roctober"
"The perfect intro for someone who's getting into bicycling and
wants to learn more about their bike." --"Make Magazine"
"This book is a double treasure. It aims at empowering and teaching
readers to do their own repairs and save money. The emphasis is on
ordinary bikes and not on high-end road bikes." --Terry Lowe,
"Momentum Magazine"
Shelley and Ethan obviously put a great deal of time and energy
into not only riding and thinking about bicycles, but also
examining their relationship to them. With warmth, charm, and
knowledge to spare, "Chainbreaker" gives the joy of bicycle
maintenance back to who it belongs: The People. One of the most
inspiring, dedicated projects in the world of independent
publishing. -Golnar Nikpour, "MAXIMUMROCKNROLL"
Shelley is enthusiastic about all aspects of bike culture. Her
writing is packed with personal stories, advice, and historical
information on bikes. A great read for anyone who is into bikes or
wants to learn more about todays DIY bike culture. -Sean Stuart,
"NEWPAGES," "THOUGHTWORM ZINE"
